Dr. David Smitley, teacher of the Sino-America Turf Management Program, came to SAU on October 30. He was to take on the course of “Turfgrass Entomology” for two weeks for the students of the program. Busy as he was, he accepted an invitation of our students to make an academic report without any hesitation. On the afternoon of November 9, he delivered his well-prepared dissertation “The long-term practice of controlling the Japanese beetle, the European chafer and the Agrilus ratundicollis Saunders in Michigan State”, which had a full house in the Room 109 of the 12th Teaching Building.
